LEXINGTON, N.C. —

Photos of a Lexington man hauling his curbside treasure from one side of town to another are getting attention on social media.

Whittney Biggerstaff was caught on camera picking up a sofa from the side of the road yesterday and balancing it on his bike -- all the way from an area near Lexington BBQ to his home on Hartman Street, about two miles away.

"I've hauled a lot of things on my scooter, but that was the biggest thing I've hauled," Biggerstaff said. "I was surprised that I was able to do it."

Biggerstaff said he doesn't need professional movers for most thing and plans to haul even more household finds down the road.

"I don't need two men and a truck, when you can do one man and a scooter," Biggerstaff said.
